Supreme Court sanctions tobacco trust monopoly ruling
The Supreme Court ruled the Tobacco Trust a combination in restraint of trade and a monopoly, dissolving the major part of the trust with a months' window for dissolution. It opens the path for criminal action against tobacco leaders and sets a broader precedent for Sherman Act enforcement. The decision follows Justice White delivering the opinion with Justice Harlan dissenting on the light of reason construction.
